Poll: What Should I review for Episodes 51, 52, & 53 of the Random Trade Review

Still working on finishing Episode 50 (The Starman Omnibus Volume 1). However,  I need to know what to do for the next few episodes (since I can't select a title on-camera right now).

Hence this poll; I have selected six books ( 2 DC, 2 Marvel, & 2 Independent) that I own. Those titles are:

Conan: The Frost Giant's Daughter by Kurt Busiek & Cary Nord

Essential Moon Knight Volume 1 by Various

Green Arrow: Sounds of Violence by Kevin Smith & Phil Hester

Missions of Love by Ema Toyama 

The Possessed by Geoff Johns, Kris Grimminger, & Liam Sharp

Uncanny Avengers Volume 1: The Red Shadow by Rick Remender, John Cassaday, & Olivier Coipel

Note: You may select up to 3 titles and you are not beholden to choose one from each category (If you only want the Marvel ones, that's fine). The top 3 titles will be covered. Voting will end on September 23, 2016, with episode 51 (hopefully coming out on October 9, 2016)



What should I review for Episodes 51, 52, &53 of the Random Trade Review?
Conan: The Frost Giant's Daughter
Essential Moon Knight Volume 1
Green Arrow: The Sounds of Violence
Missions of Love Volume 1
The Possessed

The Random Trade Review Episode 49-Legends

Well, it took two and a half days...But, I managed to get it done.
Suffice to say, I think Pinnacle is pretty much dead.

Where the heck is the Legends Review?!


Okay so here's is what's going down. I was finishing editing the final on-camera clip for Episode 49 of the Random Trade Review (where I gave my overall thoughts on Legends) When suddenly, Pinnacle (my video editing program) ceased to recognize my video.

Eventually, I decided to restart the video from scratch. However, whenever I tried to import the video clips again, the same problem kept cropping up. I went to the Pinnacle help forums (they don't have a tech support line or anything like that) and posted the problem. There, I was told to reset my library by deleting the file.


This resulted in my entire library of Video, Audio, and Picture files being deleted (including the screenshots of my Digital copy of Legends). Afterward, I re-opened Pinnacle and tried importing some files; Audio files and Picture files imported fine, but whenever I tried to import a video file, the file would fail to be recognized.

The above Video shows a demonstration of this.


Now, I can do some (and I mean SOME) video editing in my screen capture program; Camtasia. But, I won't be able to get screenshots from the copy of Legends I have. Instead, that would have to be done in Pinnacle (which because they're video files means I can't). I also, will not be able to do anything like the picture overlays I sometimes use in my on-camera segments.


This means that in all likelihood Episode 49 of the Random Trade Review will be done much in the manner you're seeing now (with me doing voice-over on various images & no on-camera segments) unless I can somehow fix this. Now, I have thought about upgrading to the latest version of Pinnacle (which just came out), but it will cost about $90 ($90 that I don't really have).





Also, before any of you start shouting about Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas; I just don't see that happening. Sony Vegas costs about $400 and while I have some experience with Premiere, I wouldn't call it spectacular.



I'm going to try to get Episode 49 Redux (as I'm calling it) out sometime in the next few days (depending on how this plays out). Then again, if any of you are tired of looking at my ugly mug, maybe this format will be permanent....See you all then, & thanks for your consideration.
